TINLEY PARK, IL - JANUARY 19: Walter Anderson practices firing a pistol while taking an NRA Basic Pistol Course at Freddie Bear Sports sporting goods store on January 19, 2012 in Tinley Park, Illinois. Anderson, who is 84 years-old, recently got a pistol for home defense and took the course to learn how to shoot again since he hasn't fired a gun since he served in the National Guard about 60 years ago. Gun rights supporters have proclaimed today Gun Appreciation Day and encouraged gun owners to visit local gun shops, gun ranges and to rally at their state capitals.
